#TheShuffle: My Darling – Eminem…

Some people(you know who you are) think that my playlist is too “cute”. So, I was in traffic when this song came on and I remembered how crazy i was about this song. This is one of my favourite Eminem songs. I always feel so in tune with the lyrics. I can totally relate to arguing with your evil alter ego all the time(well, most of the time).

In the song, Slim Shady sings to Eminem, his deranged, angry, drug-addicted alter-ego who was presumed dead after the single, When I’m Gone. Eminem wants to be left alone, but Shady won’t let him be – he wants him to come back out and play. A lot of people think the deep voice is the Devil or the Monster, but from the similar intro to Slim Shady EP it’s clear it’s Shady talking.

Before Shady begins speaking, we’re given a clue that he’s nearby. As Em’ raps “Paul Wall is dope, and so is Bubba, so b-b-b-b-b-b,” you can hear Shady’s signature chainsaw revving up.

Just check out the lyrics. If there is anyone who can teach me how to make the song play when this post opens, I will be very open to that.

“My Darling”

[Verse 1]If I woulda rap about the crap that’s outThat’s the route you probably want me to takeCause you’re just dyin’ to know what I thinkAnd my take on some other rappersIf I was to say something about Paul Wall, you’d probably crap in yourPants, cause I’m white, and he’s white, so he’s likeMy competition I mean, right?Nope, Paul Wall is dopeAnd so’s Bubba, so BLALALALAPFFTTTTTB-b-b-b-b-but, I don’t compete with nobodyI just go hard, do the rope-a-dope AliShuffle, and dance around my opponents, do donutsSometime’s I just play possom, Like I’m asleep that’s awesomeI’m like a sleeping Giant, and when I awake I’m like DreI just jump from outta nowhere and bite PreySink my teeth in him and fill him, full of poisonAnd make a noise like snake before I kill himAnd let him know that I just don’t feel himAnd smack him with the backward E, the Eminem emblemAlways thought if you was gonna murder somebody you should face emTell em why, look them dead in the eye, then waste emAnd the dark shall emerge from the fiery depths of hellAnd swallow the shell of the hollow who dwellAnd the shadows of all who are willing to sellTheir souls, for this rap game, and it g-g-goes123, 123, 123, that ain’t the hook, now follow meThere’s nothing else for me to say, my public adores meEverybody bores me, they’re just so cornySo at night before I sleep, I look in the mirrorThe mirror grows lips and it whispers “Come nearer”
